".App1icatioaffi1ea. Alpini 4,

rlhis invention relates generally to racks and has more particular reference to anovel hinged rack. l L j Y* 'Y The invention has for anlobject the provi 5"sion of a device of the class mentioned which is of simple durable construction,` desirable and elfcient in action, and which can be manufactured and sold at a reasonable cost.

The device consists'of a vertical bar Vhaving a pair of horizontal rear extensions providedwith pegs for hingedsupporting, and a plurality of pairs of horizontal front extensions provided with .pegsA to support shelves or the like. ,Theifirst mentioned pegs are directed` downwardly and the other` pegs upwardly. The said vertical bar and the extensions are preferably of. square or round cross section. The said horizontal extensions may be separate members sliclably connected with the vertical bar, and providedv with positioning means relative tothe length of the vertical bar for adjust relation of the pegs. l

For further comprehension of the Yinvention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description andv accompanying drawings, and to the appended claim in whichthe various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

" "V-"AIVI-elltca'l .145i sauer@ @OSS Section i 1 has a plurality of 4.pairs of front extensions '1r 17, 18 of square Vcross section, provided with i upwardly projecting pegs 19. The extensions 18,- are longer than the extensions 17,l

as shown vin Vthe drawing. The dot-dashlines 2O in dicate a shelf pro. 12;.

:vided with a socket 21 'engaging one ofthe Y pegs A'It should be understood that the other end of the shelf is similarly supported,

that is, it requires two racks to support the shelf. Y

In Figs. 3 and 4l, the vertical rod k14C', and the khorizontal extensions 15', 17 and 18 are ofr'circular cross section.r The extensions 17 and 18 are also tions. Y f l AIn Figs.r5 andv 6, the vertical bar 14a iis' -formed with `long itudinal grooves 22, and the extension members 15a, 17a and 18a are separate elements slidably arranged on the bar 14a. These elements are formed with tongues f 23 engaging the grooves, and also with threaded apertures 24 engaged by set screws V25 abutting. the vertical bar for holding the elements as set. The relative positions of shown at 'relative inclina P the extensionsmay be changed for changing the spacing of shelves supported by the rack. vThe bar 141 niaygalso be provided with'the longitudinal grooves v22 engaged by tongues V23 from the extensions, such as18b, as shown inFig. 7.

26 urged rearwards bysprings 27, and engaging vin apertures 28 arranged along `the lengt-h of the `barjlll?. The'plungers may be l lthe slidable extension lmembers i j V15C, 17 C and'l.c are provided with plungers onal view While I have shown and described the` preferred embodiment of my invention, it is to be understood that I do not limit my` 'self to the precise construction herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and modifications Coming within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claim.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is:

A hinged rack, comprising in combination, a plate adapted to be fastened to a wall, a vertical bar,a rear extension member mounted on said bar, spring pressed means for ady j usting the position of said member on said bar, said rear extension member being hingedly connected to said wall plate, whereby the vertical bar may be move'd horizontally, a front extension member mounted on said vertical bar, and spring pressed means for adjusting the position of said front extension member on said bar.

In testimony whereof I have aixed my signature.
